Anoplocephala magna eggs found in the rectal content of a naturally infected zebra from South Africa were fed to Scheloribates pallidulus under laboratory condition. Mites remained in contact with the eggs for one week and were late kept for 30 days in an incubator at 28°C. At the end of the experiment, 19 out of 136 mites contained typical anoplocephalidae cysticercoids in their body cavity in numbers between one and three. The average size of the metacestodes varied depending on intensity of infection. Cysticercoid infected mites were less likely to carry mite eggs.
在南非，从自然感染的斑马直肠内容物中发现了大型阔节裂头绦虫卵，将其投喂给沙氏真锐螨。在实验室条件下，螨虫与卵接触了一周，然后在 28°C 的孵育箱中饲养了 30 天。实验结束时，在 136 只螨虫中有 19 只在体腔中含有典型的阔节裂头绦虫囊尾蚴，数量在 1 到 3 个之间。囊尾蚴的平均大小取决于感染强度。感染囊尾蚴的螨虫携带螨虫卵的可能性较小。
